Are we being lied to?

Are we being lied to?

Don't stop at the first paragraph! The picture appeared in an #opioid article I saw this week prompting the thought.  Do we even know what a lie is anymore?  The website dictionary.com gives one definition to a lie as "something intended or serving to convey a false impression".  Interestingly, the same website defines an illusion as "something that deceives by producing a false or misleading impression of reality." Whether it's called #word-smithing, #positioning, or something else by liberal interpretation isn't it all a lie? If you have a bad product, potentially harmful side effects, etc. divert their focus and they'll buy every time. Guess who pays the cost!

Am I different from everyone else?  Over my lifetime, I have looked for answers to various questions for both knowledge and a better way of life.  It has led me to be skeptical about everything.  As one person once said, "Follow the money." The end result will be the truth behind everything.  From deceptive, seductive foods, to trashy products, fake people, ultimately, there seems to be great truth behind this statement. 

It's never too late to discover the truth, the reality, to seize the day.  Don't be afraid to read and research!  We have addictive personalities.  Sometimes it is not our faults as we realize the cravings, desires, etc created by the drugs, chemicals, pleasure affects we consume. #Weight, #diabetes, #dementia, and a multitude of other health issues can be reduced, eliminated, controlled simply by being aware of the causes.  #Join me or #follow me as we discover the truth together.
